A note on The Decatur Minute this morning stated that there would be filming at Ebster Rec Center and across the street at the Decatur Housing Authority. Here’s the note…

The City of Decatur has issued a film permit to Shadowlight Pictures for a television project today. The project will film at Ebster Recreation Center as well as on the Decatur Housing Authority property at the corner of Trinity and Electric Avenue. Decatur police will be present at both locations. We do anticipate intermittent traffic control for about twenty minutes in the afternoon. Your patience is greatly appreciated.

We followed up with the city’s Katie Abel for details and she told us that ESPN Game Day is shooting promotional footage. She added “It looks pretty cool over there”.

The Decatur Minute reports that the MGM Studios film, Barbershop 3, will be filming around Decatur this week.

The city site says that filming will be taking place on Ponce de Leon Court and at the chapel at Decatur First United Methodist Church through Friday. Decatur Police and private security will be onsite but the city isn’t planning for any road closures.

The film will play host to many stars according to IMDB, including Ice Cube, Common, Cedric the Entertainer and Anthony Anderson.

The City of Decatur has issued a film permit to Universal Studios for a project titled “Michelle Darnell” on Wednesday, April 15th.

We’ve received a couple of cool pics from filming locations around Decatur and Avondale in the last day or so. First, Gina sent in this photo yesterday of Vampire Diaries filming taking place on Dartmouth Avenue in Avondale Estates.

Darren sends along this photo this afternoon of the set being built for “Rings” near the creek at the east side of the Decatur Cemetery. The Decatur Minute reported last week that Rings would also be filming on Fayetteville Road from March 22-28th.
